Who we are

The SWBG brings together a wide range of
women from across Scotland who have an interest in women’s equality and also
want to achieve better gender equality in our society. We want to influence and
change the way decisions are made about how money is spent so that it takes
account of the different experiences of women and men.

We are an independent group and do not receive
any public money. We are also not affiliated to any political party, and we are
all volunteers.

All self-identified women are welcome to the
join the budget group. One of our aims is to build the capacity of women to
engage with the budget, and you do not have to have expertise in gender budget
analysis to take part.
